On the mountains there is freedom!
The world is perfect everywhere,
Save where man comes with his torment.

Die Braut von Messina (The Bride of Messina), Act IV, sc. vii (1803).Friedrich von Schiller
» Friedrich von Schiller - all quotes »
We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We know how to save the Union. The world knows we do know how to save it. We, even we here, hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free—honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth. Other means may succeed; this could not fail. The way is plain, peaceful, generous, just—a way which if followed the world will forever applaud and God must forever bless.
Abraham Lincoln
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination?
Joan of Arc
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination?
George Bernard Shaw
Must then a Christ perish in torment in every age to save those that have no imagination?
Jesus Christ
Moyers: Unlike heroes such as Prometheus or Jesus, we're not going on our journey to save the world but to save ourselves.
Campbell: But in doing that you save the world. The influence of a vital person vitalizes, there's no doubt about it. The world without spirit is a wasteland. People have the notion of saving the world by shifting things around, changing the rules, and who's on top, and so forth. No, no! Any world is a valid world if it's alive. The thing to do is to bring life to it, and the only way to do that is to find in your own case where the life is and become alive yourself.Joseph Campbell
